How will I keep track of my account?
You will receive a periodic statement, which will detail all tolls by tag, location and amount, as well as any payments you have made. You can also call 1-800-333-TOLL (8655), or check on the Web, at any time to check your account status. If your E-ZPass account balance drops below the minimum required, a reminder message "LOW BALANCE" will flash as you pass through the toll lane. This means that your account is almost out of money and you must make a payment immediately, before it runs out.


What if my E-ZPass tag is lost or stolen?
If your tag is lost or stolen, report it immediately to the Customer Service Center at 1-800-333-TOLL (8655) or through www.E-ZPassNY.com by accessing your account, under account information. The tag will be deactivated. You will not be responsible for any charges incurred after you report a lost or stolen tag. You will be liable for toll charges incurred prior to notification. You will be responsible for paying the full cost of the tag -- $23.00 for an interior tag or $29.40 for an exterior tag. Upon request, a new tag will be issued to you.


Do I receive discounts for traveling off-peak hours?
At Port Authority crossings, Value Pricing helps customers save time and money if they travel during off-peak hours: between 9am and 4pm, and after 7 pm weekdays; Sat. & Sun. before 12 noon and after 8 pm.
Commercial vehicles can save even more, 58% lower tolls, by traveling Overnight Hours Midnight to 6 am weekday
